THE CINCINNATI FIRE.
Details of the Burning of the StrO.
bridge Building.


CINCINNATI, Dec. AT 1:50 this
morning a general alarm sounded and
called the entire fire department to the
Strobridge Lithographing company's
great building on the northeast corner
of Elm and Canal. The flames devoured
the entine building, and in less that 40
minutes the walls feel i'll. The loss is
total, and will probably be not less than
$3.50, 900, but by some it is estimated
high as half a million. StrObrIdge Il
Co. have an insurance of $150,000 in
forty companies The fire started in
the ground story, but no one knows
how. There is bare suspicion of in
cendiaries. The StrObridge company
have an office in New York and one in
London. Eng. but their work is done
here. The building was fine struct-
ure. five series in height and fronting
over hundred feet on the north side of
the canal. 1t was filled with costly ma

companies will be without ma
terial to properly bill their
plays. Among those suffering in this
way are: Charles A. HOyt's three COM
panies, "The Tin Soldier, Rag Baby
and ''Hole in the Ground" michael
Strogoff," Kiralfey's "Legadier' and
aladdin" Montgomery Phister's
"Soap Bubble" and Forepaugh and
Barnum's circuses. The work for the
latter, however, had not advanced very
far A fireman, John Shutter, who was
on a ladder thirty-fve feet from the
ground, missed his footing and fell to
the ground. He was taken to the nos
pitaI with injuries which may prove
fatal. The business is probably the
largest of its kind in the world, 125 men
being employed. Hines StrOwbridge,
president of the company, says he
thought the building was fire-prOOf, and
is astonished that it should all go as it
did. Within the building as tenants is
James Barclay, job printer. and the
Halstead Stocking company. Their loss
will be about $4,000 each. The best
estimate that can be made of the total
loss is about S300.000, on which the in
surance is S150,00O. But the loss to
business during the time of enforced
idleneSs cannot be accurately estimated.
The building may be regarded as total
loss. The portions of the walls left
standing are worthless. The fire is still
burning slowly at 10 a. H., and engines
are throwing water on it.

Dies MONIES, To-, Dec. 1.-The Demo

ton, introduced by Secretary Fuller, of
the First district, was unanimously

Chicago possesses the best facilities and
accommodation for holding the preSi-
Dental nominating convention next
year, and that said city is more cen
trally located than any other for that
purpose, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Democratic state
committee of Iowa express in this way
their desire that the said convention be
held in Chicago, and that this resolution
be communicated to the chairman and
to the Hon. W. NJ. Ham, member of the

There is no doubt that this resolution
reflects the sentiments of the masses of
the party in Iowa upon the subject men,
toned. 1t was decided to hold the next
state convention at Dubuque, but the
date was not fixed.

AZ Child Born on Train is Thrown
Out to Die.
Special to the Globe.
PINE CITY, Mimi, Dec. 1.-The cor
oner's jury convened for the purpose of
holding an inquest ON the body of the
infant found on the st. Paul IL Duluth
track, about half mile north of this
place Nov. go, elected the following
facts: That the child was probably
born on the nOrth-bOund Duluth train
which passed Pine City about o'clock
on the morning of the 10Th. The i'm
print in the snow where the child struck
was about two feet south of where it
was found, showing that the momentum
acquired from the moving train carried
it north. 1t was also apparent that it
was thrown from the window of the car,
probably the sleeper. The autopsy de-
velOped the fact that it was born alive
and fully developed. There was slight
fracture of the left parietal bone, which
was evidently produced by striking on
the frozen ground, and death was prob
ably caused by the injury. The chiefs
of police at Duluth and st. Paul were
both Immediately notified of the affair
and requested to examine trains and
passengers. 1t was cold-blooded, pre-
meditated, sOulleSs murder, which would
seem impossible for any uDaided female
TO accomplish without betraying to
other passengers that something out Of
the usual order of things was taking
place. The child was not dressed, but
flung by its unnatural mother, partially
covered with the soiled sWaddling
clothes, out into the cold winter night,
either to cover up shame or ease some
one OF burdenSOme responsibility.

prehensions of Il revolt. The report that
M. Fl0urens would form a cabinet
gains little credence. He is OBJ

Mr.. Stacey was Reid's legal custodian,
and this correspondence should be
confidential. Capt. Hart said the pri-
mary evidence was the letter itself, the
copy was only secondary; but even if
the original were in court it would be
excluded by the statute. Mr.. Mum ar
gued that the prisoner had voluntarily
given the information to the witness.
The court said he would admit the let
ter. Then Mr.. O'Brien asked the wit
ness if the copy had been submitted to
him for the purpose of refreshing his
memory. Witness replied in the affirm
alive. MIR. Munn'S letter to the witness
relative to the letter of Reid was pro-
duced, and the court and counsel for
the defense read it. Mr.. Mum wanted
his written request to be read to the
jury, but the court would not allow 1t.
Then Capt Hart asked the witness if
he could separate the things he remem-
bered from reading the original letter
at first and the additional matter he re-
membered after his memory had been
refreshed by the copy. Chief Stacey
said he couldn't, so, as he had put his
foot in it too deep to get out, the court

BARRED THE BOOK.
DR.. Brinley was recalled and testified
that Miss COmpstOn and her brother in

spiracy and blackmail. Hal Reid will
be put upon the stand to-day. Nobody

bribery and has impressed many people
with the conviction that money had
been cOrruptly used. Several of the
parties thus granted immunity have told
ON the quiet, of having paid money to
Pierce and Potts. one of them relating
that it cost him an even 50 per week for
immunity from seizure. This was said
under circumstances that at least i'm
piled that these men did not care to
have the transactions made public as
was alleged for two reasons, first, they
could afford to pay that amount and
live. And second, should it become
known, they would become liable to
prosecution for bribing an officer. These
examinations have been iterated and re-
peated so often and are supported by
such plausible evidence. that County
Attorney Philips carried the matter
before the grand jury Tuesday, and re-
quested that
1T BE INVESTIGATED
by that body. The jury manifested
some reluctance in taking aggressive
action and finally after wrestling with
it for a few hours, resolved to present
themselves before Judge Given and ask
for instructions. The county attorney
had, in anticipation of this move, en-
lightened the court and suggested the
advisability of having the charges es
tablished and the offenders punished,
or on the other hand, disprOve them and
vindicate the accused officers. The
grand jury accordingly appeared
before Judge Given this morn
ing and asked for advice in the prem
ises. After hearing the foreman's
explanation, Judge Given issued EN-
phatic instructions for thorough in
hn IN,
give the charges their earliest attention,
and If after careful examination it
should be shown that any of the ac-
cuSed cOnStableS have been guilty of
accepting brides, TO return indictments
against them and vigorous prOsecu-
ton would be inStigated. The grand
jury then retired and entered at once
upon its work by sending for numerous
witnesses. 1t is understood that I'M
munity from the legal consequences of
bribery will be given the witnesses who
testify in order to remove their fear of
being held equally cupable with the
bribed officials.

PRINTERS VICTORIOUS.
Collapse of a Prosecution Under
the COnSDiracy Law

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The first attempted
prosecution under the recently enacted,
Illinois statute known as the Merritt
conspiracy law, collapsed to-day. Two
striking job printers were charged with
combining with other members of the
Typographical union to injure the bust
ness of Poole Brothers, one of the firms
composing the TypOthetR, an organiza-
ton of employing printers. The otfense
of defendants lay in joining the con-
certed abandonment of work and taking
part in the usual tactics to prevent
others taking the vacated places. When
the prosecution rested their case this
afternoon the defense submitted it to
the court without defense OF argument.
Another attorney for the prosecution
then denounced the union men as hav-
ing cOnspired to injure the complain
ants, whereupOn the attorney for the
defense, Alexander Sullivan, stated if
that were the case there were two sets
of conspirators, the Typographical
union and the Typothete. The court
discharged the strikers.
